I Have Two Bricks...Their Names are Ipod Classic and Ipod Nano


December 25 2008. I am in the midst of wrapping presents. I have the geeky itch to play John Cougar Mellencamp's "Jack and Diane". "Buzz, Click, Buzzz" my Ipod Classic doesn't respond and slips into a coma that it never recovers from. Brick #1

January 25, 2008. Running around Green Lake for the second time in 7 weeks since my left knee injury. Pumped and ready for some Rage Against the Machine, no less than 10 minutes into a my run, my fully charged Ipod Nano shuts off. I've seen this before - it means the charging life of the player has kicked the can. Brick#2

Honorable Mentions:

Circa August 2005. I placed my Ipod shuffle on my hub and let it be overnight. The next I woke up to a sight of horror. The shuffle had melted on the hub. Imagine if you put it in the oven at 350 degrees for 5 minutes. Bricked!

Spring 2005 my 2nd Generation Ipod battery give out after ~2 years of music service. I was using it as a backup hard drive on my desktop, however it has stop responding as well. Bricked!


Hmm...which Ipod should I get next? Maybe I should kick it old school and get a sony walkman...

You've heard this all before...my Sony Discman is 12 years old and won't die! I even took it apart (what the hell do I know), and it still works! I own no bricks, nor do I shoot any...

Hmmm, my nano widescreen is still going strong. I like those more the the new ones.
